Y3 Fall 2008

Market Said: The Y3 show is always one of the hottest tickets in town so we headed over to Pier 40 to see the latest collection. The space was transformed into an ice paradise. Huge walls made of ice bricks set the stage, and every guest who came received handwarmers and a snuggly Y3 blanket. Nevermind that the Superbowl was about to start- the space was PACKED. The show was both avant garde and very wearable. An elongated silhouette was the big story with oversized drapey trousers featuring dropped crotches, suits with extra long jackets, and chunky sweaters that hit mid thigh worn with slim fitting khakis. As a styling note: as in several other shows we’ve seen, scarves and neck detailing are superimportant. And, charms and wallet chains still look hot.

Saynt Says: I’m in love with how loose everything is looking this season. It seems as if the tight tapered, tailored mens pants are out and the path has been set for some comfort.  Great news if your a boy with a bit of a booty (like muah, it’s been compared to Jeter’s baseball butt).  I am also a big fan of his reds, the shade he’s chosen is perfect for the fall and very masculine and luxurious.  Can’t wait to see this stuff at Yoshi’s new Meatpacking flagship.
